One of my favourite blogs is the one of Deirdre Bonnycastle, the author of the Medical Education Blog. She has recently come up with a great post on the different forms of medical simulations:
1. Physical Simulators
2. Human Manipulated Physical Simulators
3. Virtual Simulators
4. Virtual Environment Simulators
You really should check it out.
I’ll attend the Medicine Meets Virtual Reality conference in Long Beach, California in the last days of January, and I’ll give a short presentation about medical simulation in Second Life. I hope I’ll be able to persuade them why to use the virtual world for educational purposes.
From my part, here are some posts focusing on medical simulations:
